Does anyone know if you can import a TIF file into AutoCad LT 2002? If so How, We switched to the LT package a few months ago & if I remember right the full blown packages you could do this.

 

Okay we have AutoCAD LT 2002 in our office and I just tried it. It is a bit of a pain to do but you first need to open the tif image in a graphic program, select it and then copy it. Go to AutoCAD and simply use the paste button on the toolbar. Maybe an easier way out there? HTH.

 

what exactly do you guys do with autoCAD?

 

I'm a mechanical engineer so I do all of my drafting for new design projects with it. Very handy tool once you get to know it.

I am even using it to design some striping for my P5. By that I mean I am playing around with a design that finishes off the stripe at the front as well as the rear. This way I can draw it full scale and then cut it out to be used as a template.

 

I used Autocad 2000i at my old job, mechanical seal design. At my new job we use SolidWorks. This program is GREAT, and it sure makes my job easier. I know its possible to import a TIF file into Autocad, but I cant give you any details since I havent used it in a while.

 

ahhh some autocad people hehe.. I have inserted pics on 14 and 2000. and you can do it on LT also. Just cant remember right off the top of my head. I just got my hands on the Autodesk Inventor Series this baby kicks ***. Much better the old Mechanical Desktop 4. The only thing i miss when i use solid work is my command line. im not much on the icons yet. i like to just type it in.
